I have had my pretty grey squirrel for about 8 weeks she was about a week old when found she has been doing great except for I have noticed her hair is not growing on her hind leg joints or elbows and she has very little fur on her belly and the top part of her tail close to the body is no hair..I have tried and researched everywhere to find something but am still confused by this she is now 8 weeks old she eats fruits and vegetabless and nuts if course she is very active and so smart..I'm really not sure if it's a nutrition problem or what please can someone help me out..I want her to be healthy.she is active and her personality is just awesome she goes everywhere with me..thank you

Can you post a photo so we can see?

She should not be having nuts at this point. She should be getting squirrel blocks. You may very well have a nutritional issue going on here.

These: https://www.henryspets.com/diets/ are the very best - 2 per day. I recommend the hazelnut and the picky blocks.

Is she still getting formula? What type are you feeding?
